Declan Rice has named the very Arsenal player that has impressed him the most since he joined the west London club from West Ham United.
Rice joined Arsenal in a £105 million deal earlier in the summer transfer window.
He has won the Community Shield with the Gunners and helped them win their first league game of the season against Nottingham Forest.
The England midfielder appears to be forming good relationships with his teammates.
Speaking in an interview with Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand, on TNT Sports, Rice was asked who has surprised him the most among his new teammates.
“The one who [has impressed me the most] – when we were away in America [for pre-season], never seen someone so sharp in training – is Martinelli.
“He’s so sharp, he is, honestly. I feel like Martinelli is faster [than Bukayo Saka] in a sprint. 100%. Those two on the wings are frightening.”
